In this study, researchers created nanowhiskers from crab shell-derived nanochitin that self-assembled into vibrant structural colors within a film. The material, sensitive to environmental changes, shows potential as a food freshness indicator and a sustainable dye for cosmetics due to chitin's biocompatibility.

Lower acetylation makes chitin nanofibers thinner and more suitable for various uses.

This study found that chitosan and surface-deacetylated chitin nanofibrils promoted hair growth in mice and increased fibroblast growth factor-7 production in human follicle dermal papilla cells.

This study found that treating chitin from crab shells with ultrasonication at specific conditions effectively produced fine nanofibers with a high yield.

In this study, cricket-derived chitin successfully converted to nanochitin, which demonstrated improved physical properties such as higher transmittance and greater modulus compared to crab shell nanochitin.
